Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Hi Everyone! Im new, let me introduce myself...

Thanks Jimmy,

At school we have ISE 4.1 (sp2) and EDK 3.1, will this work?
Is MDK 2.2 something thats a part of Xilinx Platform studio
(not ISE)?

When synthesizing the Microblazer with uClinux is the gate density
the only critical factor to consider for operation?  For example, if I 
buy a board with no external memory, will this be a problem?

I noticed Avnet charges the same for the Spartan and Virtex boards,
any reason why I should choose one over the other?

Thanks!
Erich

p.s. Heres some intersting links I ran across:
